The
Weird Girls return in another edge-of-your-seat novel from Cecy Robson! Just
when Celia thinks the supernatural world can’t turn deadlier, a new rival
emerges, proving just how dangerous a power-hungry were can be.
Since
being cursed with unique abilities, Celia Wird and her three sisters have
fought the most bloodthirsty preternaturals in the Lake Tahoe region. But
Celia’s greatest threat is someone she would have never suspected: Anara, a
werewolf Elder who has allowed his hatred for Celia to spiral out of control.
In a play for dominance, Anara tortures Celia and gives her an ultimatum: sever
her mate bond with pureblood were Aric—or Anara will kill everyone she
loves.
From
the instant they met, Celia and Aric have shared an attraction that cannot be
tamed. So keeping Aric away is impossible, and Aric would sooner die than allow
anyone to hurt the woman he loves. Misha, master vampire and Celia’s sworn
protector, also finds his way into the chaos, seeking blood from those who have
harmed her.
Now
Celia and her sisters are caught in the middle of a war driven by lust, fueled
by hatred, and destined to end in tragedy. For Anara is a force to be reckoned
with, and he will not succumb without robbing Celia of those who hold her
heart.

I
continued to stare at the tiny heartbeat on the screen. “How did this happen?”
I asked stupidly.
“Have
you been sexually active, Celia?”
Dr.
Belman’s voice was soft and surprisingly patient. I thought about all the times
Aric and I had been intimate in the last few weeks. “Um. Yes.”
“Did
you use birth control?”
“Yes.”
He raised his eyebrows. “It’s true,” I insisted.
I
had started back on the Pill when Aric and I resumed our relationship. Dr.
Belman pointed to the monitor. “Every time, Celia?”
“Well,
no. But it was only one night.” That was the truth—sort of. Granted that one
night we’d made love four times, but that didn’t matter, right? I looked back
at the little beating heart. I guess it
does . . . matter.
Tears
streamed down my face. Although I completely freaked, I couldn’t help smiling. Aric and I are having a baby.
Dr.
Belman removed the internal monitor, the same monitor I insisted he use to
disprove the pregnancy test results. I thought he was just in obstetrician mode
when I explained my symptoms and he had me give a urine sample. Extreme fatigue
and nausea could have been related to anything I might have contracted on my
recent international trips.
“Are
you all right, Celia?”
I
sat up and wiped my trickling tears. “Yes. No. I’m not sure, but I will be.”
“Do
you feel the young man responsible will be supportive?”
Don’t you mean the young werewolf?
“In time. Aric
is just going through a lot at the moment.” You
see, Dr. Belman, he was severely burned and disfigured three days ago, in
Chaitén, Chile, trying to save the
world from a seven-headed fire-breathing demon.
“Regardless
of what challenges he’s facing, if he’s worth keeping, he’ll make you and his
child a priority.” He sighed and placed his hand on my shoulder. “I apologize,
Celia. I know it’s not my place to speak to you like this, but you are a nice
young lady and deserve a good man.”
“I
appreciate your concern, Dr. Belman, but Aric is a good man.” He’s just
hurting.
Dr.
Belman tapped my arm and regarded me thoughtfully. “If you say so, I believe
you.” He helped me off the exam table. “So, miss, the plan is you will stop
taking birth control at once and you will see me in four weeks. Here is a
prescription for some prenatal vitamins.”
I
pushed my long wavy hair from my face and stared at the script. Somehow the
piece of paper officially announced I was becoming a mommy. Another tear escaped
my eye. “Thank you, Dr. Belman.”
On
the way home, different scenarios of Aric’s reaction played in my head, and I
wondered how to tell him. He hadn’t called, though he’d said he would. It was
rare for him not to stay true to his word, and even more rare for him not to
check on me.
My
head spun with worry. The demon hadn’t just marred Aric physically, he’d
brutalized his self-esteem. I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel and
entertained my options. I couldn’t call his Warriors. If Aric’s Pack Elders
found out, his friends would surely be punished and so would Aric. I also
couldn’t involve my sisters. They would suspect something and, in this case,
Aric should know my news first.
Will you be happy for us, Aric?
